Dog and cat food will also be available. We will also be distributing 80 dog houses and straw to those who have pre-registered at previous clinics. If you did not pre-register for a dog house please come after noon (12 pm) on Saturday, November 15th and all remaining dog houses not distributed will be handed out to residents of Leech Lake Reservation.

Yam was picked up by Rory, Leech Lake Tribal Police Community Services Officer, at the end of October. Her face and body were covered with porcupine quills and Rory immediately transported her to our partner Animal Care Clinic in Bemidji where she was sedated and the hundreds of quills removed. We also learned that our sweet girl was very pregnant.

Jenny (LLL Program Director) worked to find placement for Yam with one of our partners and we were ecstatic when Animal Allies Humane Society in Duluth said YES! Yam gave birth to 10 puppies at the vet clinic the night before she was transported (unfortunately 1 puppy did not survive). She then gave birth to one more puppy the very next day but unfortunately one more puppy did not make it. Yam, and her surviving 9 puppies, are being pampered in a loving foster home with Animal Allies.

We are grateful to Rory, Animal Care Clinic, Nancy/Tom (for transporting Yam from Leech Lake to Duluth), and Animal Allies for taking Yam and her puppies into their program. We are also grateful to all who support us so that we an provide the necessary emergency medical care for dogs like Yam who come into our program.
